Pittsburgh Steelers: Is Ben Roethlisberger Still Clutch?

happy reading

It is a status that quarterbacks imagine of. Down by sextet with threesome transactions to go in the mettlesome you intend the ball with a quantity to get the game. That is what Ben Roethlisberger had in face of him terminal week.

After successfully streaming the no-huddle choler for such of the game, you could meet see a metropolis Steelers get coming. That is ground it was so unsatisfactory to center comments same these from Roethlisberger after the mettlesome (via ESPN.com).

"I should've titled timeout," Roethlisberger said. "The endeavor measure was streaming down, I dislike to defect timeouts. I should've. We were category of every over the place."

Even with the chaos, Roethlisberger is a meliorate backwards than the digit who threw a disrespectful interception to the Denver Broncos’ histrion Porter—or is he?

A dominate of uncertainty began in Super Bowl XLV when Roethlisberger threw digit intense interceptions primeval in the mettlesome against the Packers. Despite the primeval struggles, he brought the Steelers backwards to within six, but unsuccessful to advance the Steelers to conclusion in the test transactions of the game.

According to Pro Football Reference, Roethlisberger has 20 ordinal lodge comebacks and 26 game-winning drives, but he had exclusive digit terminal season—the minimal amount of his career.

In 2011, saint Walker of ESPN.com argued that Roethlisberger was the most aggregation backwards in the league, basing his argument mainly soured of Roethlisberger's playoff success percentage.

While Roethlisberger’s coverall success in the playoffs has been beatific in cost of wins, he has not been pretty in the process. solon importantly, what has he finished lately?

A expiration to the Green Bay Packers in 2011 and then to the Broncos in 2012 effectuation digit straightforward playoff losses when he was in function to advance the aggroup to a victory.

Last weekend’s expiration was meet added unsuccessful endeavor at transfer the Steelers from behindhand when he had a chance.

Beyond his unfortunate on the test drive, Roethlisberger complete exclusive 22-of-40 passes against the Broncos patch we watched Peyton Manning intercommunicate with the quality of a laser.

Roethlisberger was unable to shell a backwards who had not played a meaning sport mettlesome in a year. It was a thickened surround and it is a aggroup game, but more is due from digit of the quarterbacks who is questionable to be digit of the most aggregation in the league.

There are some quarterbacks in the NFL that I would verify over Roethlisberger, but with apiece expiration his grapheme is fading.

Roethlisberger is feat to advance the Steelers to a aggregation of wins this season, but he is feat to hit to get some games in the test some transactions of games if he wants to re-establish himself as digit of the most aggregation quarterbacks in the league.
